I only played the demo, but I found it mostly useless. The only thing it was good for was getting enemies off my back when I was surrounded--which would have also been accomplished by a sufficiently powerful DT-explosion--but then it usually broke my combo--something a DT-explosion would not normally do.

It really does feel like Ninja Theory simply threw out all the DMC gameplay stuff that was established to be good, (like lock-on, DT, and TAUNT,) recycled some old stuff (that wasn't all that great to start with), and called it a day. Sure, the snatch ability is cool in concept, but I really only ended up using it at the very start of the battle. And pulling down flying enemies was a hassle because it would keep targeting other things...
